we have tracey and john and wapeand julian. and tracey. john, you say shorten the school year before raising taxes. what is the problem? >> you know me. i am all about the kids. i am all about the taxpayers, too. we know that public schools have been a failure and short of privatizing them, best thing to do cut them 25 percent. that would be a good start. not only help the kids but improve their education and help the taxpayers who wouldn't be forced to continue to participate in a failing system. >> tracey is all about the kids. yawn thon -- johnathon. >> watch out big bird. i can't believe we are talking about imposing on our children the gross mistakes the adults have made. the education system is not a total failure. there are definitely issues with it but the choice of putting a kid in the classroom or letting them in the street and getting arrested. and that is it a no brainer. raise my taxes 50 percent if you like tompt >> tracey, you are making an eal - emotional argument. >> i don't think that is true. >> wayne rogers, in californ
